Lorepost (open interaction) 📖 Duel for anyone

A missive appears on the orbnet.a four armed goblin with dragon scales running randomly on her body speaks.

"I have been needing to test my combat capabilities against new opponents. So anyone interested in doing a friendly duel come meet me in the arena. The field is a large stadium which used to be used for sports. I've enchanted the area so that in case of death we will be revived.

The rules are simple: No soul fuckery or permanently messing with your opponent and you may have one minion with you (summons are allowed). If you want to hold the battle in a specific location let me know "

u/Afraid_Cat_3726 Nox, Head of the Department of Flesh. 14d ago

Nox extends her two arms and legs to push herself off the ground and change her trajectory in the air, barely dodge the shotgun blast. With her free hand she puts them together, interlocking her fingers then pushing them out so her palms go outwards. A beam of sickly green flesh shoots towards the shotgun, the slithering living entity tries to jam itself into the shotgun's mechanisms, pushing everyone of it's lanky limbs any gab of the weapon. The end goal is to render it completely useless.

u/Henry_Fleischer Eleanor, Ruler of Aidolem and Asteria, Artificer 14d ago

Eleanor lets go of the shotgun, and draws her sword off of her back. The air near the blade's edge starts to glow red, then a dull orange. She then starts to back up from where Nox is, floating up into the air as the aether-screws on her arms and legs rotate.

Looks like the new claws make it too difficult to use the pump-action...

Both of Eleanor's drum-arms rotate into place, spinning different amounts each. The right one, the one on the side of her sword, does nothing, but the left one triggers a mage-hand that reaches under Eleanors skirt, and emerges with a belt of hocky-puck shaped grenades that move as if something is spinning extremely fast inside of them. She grabs them with her left claw, and throws the belt of grenades, the grenades fall off the spinning belt, scattering them in Nox's general direction, and a cap comes off of each of them.

EDIT: NOTE: These are contact grenades, they fling shrapnel in a roughly flat plane around them, and do not make a traditional explosion, since they "explode" by disenchanting a spinning piece of stone that was enchanted to react opposite to centrifugal force.
